What’s Your Social Marketing Velocity? April 3, 2008
Posted by Andrew Wee in : Video Marketing , trackbackHere’s a quick quiz.
Remember…
Just the other night, I got the answer…Ricky who?
Exactly!
If you’re using the social web, or mass media (the bigger subset which social media is a part of), you’re subject to constantly being in the spotlight and branding and promoting yourself to stay in the spotlight and create mindshare and ultimately marketshare.
I was reading Ricky’s wiki entry and his life seems to stop in 2006 with an 8 month concert tour ending abruptly due to a lack of advertising.
So in lieu of constantly paying for advertising costs if you’re using Pay-Per-Click traffic, social marketers will instead be banking in their social cachet.
There’s a thread going Stephanie Agresta’s blog, that after “Video killed the radio star” that the “YouTube will kill the Video star“.
Which is one of the phenoms you’ll see going around that Internet stars like Winelibrary TV (guru is a bad word in my book) expert Gary Vay-Ner-Chuk! and iJustine AKA Justine Ezarik and Lisa Nova (Lisa parlayed a series of spoofs on YouTube into appearing on MadTV)
The buzz exists as long as you continue to build your brand and social momentum, else you could end up as the next LonelyGirl or LonelyGuy.
In the meantime, enjoy Lisa Nova’s re-enactment of 300!

I agree with you about keeping the buzz of your name alive. In the marketing industry, if they don’t know you, you don’t exist. I have recently started a massive social bookmarking and networking campaign that seems to be getting me results in just a weeks time. I would suggest to anyone who wants to make money online to make a name for themselves by getting known in all of the social media they possibly can.
I just recently joined twitter among a hundred other sites but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be facebook - this week:)
